National Grid says it has started an investigation after this crane became stuck while working on the Hinkley Point power lines near Burnham-On-Sea.
A local resident, who took the photo above, said the huge crane was stuck for several hours on the route of the new Hinkley Point T-pylons which are being built in the village of Mark.
A spokeswoman for National Grid confirmed that a crane had become stuck on the Hinkley Connection project last week and that no-one had been hurt.
”The crane was set back onto the track with no visible damage to the land, haul road or the crane itself,” she said.
“The crane will not be used while the investigation into the cause is underway and there is no delay to the programme of work.”
More than 100 of the huge new T-shaped pylons are being installed across Somerset to carry electricity from Hinkley Point C to Avonmouth.
Each pylon takes about five days to build. Construction of the first 48 began in September and the remaining 68 pylons, north of Sandford, will begin in 2022.
With a single pole and cross-shaped arms, the T-pylons stand at 35 metres (114ft) high, around a third shorter than the traditional high-voltage lattice shape.
